The Highways Agency currently has three maintenance projects under construction by BAM Nuttall. The details are as follows:

M3 Hard Shoulder Strengthening Phase 2 Pain and Gain Mechanism 30 April 2010

For local major schemes it is the responsibility of the promoting authority to decide on the most suitable procurement route. From the local major schemes currently under construction in which the Department for Transport has agreed to contribute funding, the following table provides information on those being constructed by BAM Nuttall.

Project Name (a and b) Type of Contract (c) Completion Target Date
Cambridgeshire Guided Busway Design and Build including a Pain and Gain Mechanism. February 2009
Connecting Derby Phase 2 and 3 Pain and Gain Mechanism December 2010

The Department is also providing funding to a number of Community Infrastructure Fund schemes. One of which is the South East Hampshire Rapid Transit Phase 1 scheme between Fareham and Gosport. BAM Nuttall was appointed by Hampshire county council to deliver the main construction aspects of the scheme. This contract is a standard construction contract using a priced bill of quantities. A target completion date as such is not applicable as community infrastructure funding is made available up until 31 March 2011.
